Misplace medium Hebridean island (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mislay

'misplace' is the definition.
('mislay' can be a synonym of 'misplace')

'medium hebridean island' is the wordplay.
'medium' becomes 'm' (as in UK clothing sizes).
'hebridean island' becomes 'islay' (I've seen this before).
'm'+'islay'='MISLAY'

(Other definitions for mislay that I've seen before include "Put in wrong place, lose temporarily" , "Set in wrong location" , "Put something aside and forget where" , "Be unable to find" , "Lose track of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
